He assured the community that the APC candidate would continue with the good work he did as the representative before his election as deputy governor.
“Our candidate, Omosede Igbinedion, is not a neophyte in the business of lawmaking. The party chose her because we are sure of her capacity to deliver,” Idahosa added.
